Radio Four
Notes:
- All years given indicate when the record was recorded.- Information on the personnel is very minimal. See "Gospel Records" by Cedric J. Hayes and Robert Laughton for more details.
- When they started recording for Tennesse/Republic the group consisted of Dr. Morgan Babb (leader) and his brothers James, Claude, Morgan, George, Ray, Sepheus and Paul. Morgan Babb left the group in 1956 probably, he's no longer present on Nashboro 600 and later releases. Under his own name he continued recording for Nashboro.
- A group including Morgan, Paul and Sepheus Babb recorded with Ernie Newton as the Gospel Five. There was one release on the Tennessee label (#116: My Trouble Is Hard b/w Elijah). These recordings may have been made during the first Radio Four session.
- A release number marked red, means that a picture is available. Click on a song title or issue (company & number) to see it.
